ELECTRONIC INTERFERENCE IN THE RED SEA AND THE ARABIAN GULF:‎ RISK AND MITIGATION

Since April, the threat of Electronic Interference (GPS jamming and spoofing) in the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf has increased significantly, leaving vessels at risk of corrupt AIS, ECDIS, radar overlays, and distress alerts, creating false confidence in incorrect data. The risk is that vessels may stray into restricted waters, run aground, or collide if crews rely solely on GPS. This short Maritime Security Awareness report highlights interested parties to the threat, risk, and provides advice on risk mitigation.
